It's actually not, as I've never seen that site until you posted the link, but it is extremely similar.

Honestly this is something I thought of one morning and put most of it together in less than an hour. I find it pretty useful for my own commute and polished it up in hopes it may be helpful to others. I'm certainly not thinking this will

Surprisingly no. In fact it's been a while since I've had to explain the real meaning of the word hacker. In the past 10 years it seems that a lot of people finally "get it".

Daily. I commute on a bike (5 miles each way). I also run 5k's when they come around, Lift weights twice per week, and go on long (50+ mile) bike rides when I can.

I have no stats in front of me, but I have always been made to understand that BSD's (namely FreeBSD) handle high traffic better than linux. I personally use Debian for everything. I can't imagine the distro making a huge difference really

I havn't in a little over a year now. Current company drug tests and I enjoy a paycheck more than I enjoy getting high. That said, I do very much enjoy it and have had some "breakthroughs" related to coding projects while high. Moderatio

If its anything like the G4 and original Intel Minis (I own and have opened both), 2 putty knives will open it right and leaves no marks. From discussion I remember reading way back when the g4 mini was originally launched, this will not vo

I have the Asus eeepc 4g. I use it daily. When I bought it, my only computer was a Macbook, and I wanted to start using a desktop again as my primary machine so I bought the eee for times when a mobile computer would be useful. It's been

I used my own simply because I had already written it and polished it for release before needing it for a business site. If I was starting from scratch and needed something, I would use wordpress and spend my time elsewhere.

I'm in a bit of an opposite situation, I've been doing web development since high school (i'm 27 now), and am just now going to college for the first time. For a degree in religion of all things. That said, I would never have gone to sch

First thing is Google reader, everything I read on a daily basis I get through rss, then I ssh into my server and open mutt, after that I'll check twitter.

http://www.pavatar.com/ Is the closest thing I can think of to what you are describing, instead of being tied to your email, it is tied to your url.

Agreed, it's a fantastic forum for that sort of thing. It was extremely valuable during my 1/2 semester as a physics major.

I don't know why, but I just dont "get" monads. Perhaps playing with Haskell more will help.

I am also a back-end developer and have found design knowledge to be very useful. Very often I'll be given a layout which breaks once I started adding code to it, a good html/css understanding will let you fix issues like this without havi

I stopped using it because nearly everyone I knew switched to AIM which I also did eventually. As common as IM is now, I recall being amazed at the concept of not having to sit on IRC all day to talk to my friends. And just to brag, my numb

Emacs I do PHP professionally, mainly Ruby with my own projects, but I dabble with lots of languages. It's very powerful and any feature it doesn't have, I can add myself. Yesterday I was prototyping something for work, I had my main php f

Cool idea, with a little work this could be a very useful tool for color seeing folk. The method you use could definitely use tweaking though, Ive seen other sites that do this which produce images that look identical to the original to
